Mc!!' I. Have done tesco this morning and plenty of meats left!! I got pork for today as its my daddy's birthday so iI'm cooking .
Aw thanks sis, yes all 4 children were amazing, best present we could have had was to see them like that

I went to waitrose and they had loads of meat, all reduced the woman there said that the Aberdeen Angus topside was lovely, gave me the right amount for 4 people and even told me how long to cook it for

scout post delivered, lunch in fave cafe eaten, then we drove around looking at the flooded trent - very odd seeing the places I often run submerged by a raging river

loula - so lovely that the kids all get on. are you all going to be living together?

tired now, may try for a little nap before having to cook etc

we couldn't find a ready made xmas pud, I have maybe left it a bit late to make one, but OH prefers spotted dick, and that should be easy to make, so I'll make spotted dick instead and hope my dad has some xmas pudding. I love xmas pudding!

LLB-It is nice that all the children get on! We generally find that our 4 get on _most of the time!! How old are your partners children? Love roast port. Sausage cassarole today, spag bol tomorrow and then roast turkey. All cooking done by me!! Mrs AF is however the queen of the mince pie making!

MC-Enjoy roast beef- love it. However, never have it as I like it rare and mrs AF likes it burnt too b******!!

Went out for a 14.7 mile run with some of the laides with the club. At one stage we ran through a foot of water. Enjoyed it- no rain and incredibly mild!

Jude I will try and see if I can put your fb pic on here if you want?
Boss, the pork was lovely, crackling and stuffing tooThe children are 14,11(miss llb,10) and 3. Not all of them there all of the time no.
Ecky, have a lovely time , have already wished you merry Xmas on fb but ......
happy Christmas All !!!!!!!!!!! ????

Tomorrow is my Grandad's 90th birthday. None of his four children wanted to organise anything, so I'm taking a car full of nibbles and a birthday cake plus my little Christmas tree and spare lights and hosting an 'open house' afternoon for me. I think most of the family who live in the area will come. But most of all we will celebrate with my Grandad who was rough and surly when younger, but has mellowed in his old age and loves having folk around.

Went out for a quick 3.3 miles in 26 minutes- achey after yesterdays run. Have just put the cooking red cabbage with apples and onions in the oven for tomorrow. Mrs AF says I have to have sprouts! yuck!
